An acquaintance from mid- New Jersey is looking for a gunsmith to remove a dent from a barrel. He's located near Griffin & Howe but would like to find someone a little less "pricey" for the job. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks
Rick

I used to live in that area, I would go to Griffin and Howe but you could also check with:

I'm not sure if he does repair work or not.

If Cobbs doesn't do it I would get a quote from G&H in Benardsville,doubt they are that much higher for something that simple.
I had them do it and put a bead on many years ago when I lived in PSRNJ and seem to recall it was not that much more.

Tell him to go to the Northeast side by side shoot at Hauseman's Hollow in Eastern PA this June 6-8. You can get dents taken out in the tent area for about $20 by Hosford & Co., assuming they are there again this year. I had them take a dent out of one of my doubles last year.

He can have fun, see a lot of great guns and get his barrel fixed all in one day.

Hosford took one out for me too. Great job. He may do one by mail, I would ask.
